The ‘’’Toa Mokha’’’ is a team of Toa that was formed after the Toa Schism.
History[]
A week after the Toa Mokha were first formed, they were deployed to the Southern Continent, to investigate rumors of Matoran populations that lived there. They made their way there on a Steltian trading ship, which originally passed by multiple islands on its way there, but after the captain fell overboard and drowned in the water, the Toa took command of the ship and sailed it to the Southern Continent, and invited its crew of Steltian Laborers to join them. The crew refused their offer, but did create a small Steltian outpost on the beaches of the Continent, having no one to direct them. While going inland, the Toa came across a one of the rumored Matoran villages, inhabited by "fixed" Matoran who were sent there by Karzahni. At first the Toa did their part to help the Matoran there, but then they discovered that Khaati, their Toa of Air, had been killed by these Matoran. Galek, the Toa Team's commander, declared that the Toa would avenge Khaati's death by killing all the Matoran in the village that they were in. All the members of the team except for Gelisa joined in this attack. Afterwards, Galek led the way for the team to attack other Matoran villages, until Gelisa and Arphax finally turned against him, with Arphax using his Perception lens to reveal Galek in the form of a snake. Galek became enraged and attacked both of them, seemingly killing both, although they were actually alive and restored to health by the Matoran. Kaylos, seeing the damage she had caused while following Galek's orders, killed herself with her iron claw. Jethryn, who had also followed Galek, decided to put an end to his schemes by ambushing and killing him. In the struggle between the two of them, Galek used his flamethrowers to burn Jethryn's jaw, requiring him to use a breath-regulating "conduit mask" for the rest of his life. However, Jethryn used his burst lightning powers to disable Galek's flamethrowers and mask powers, before strangling him with an electrically-charged gauntlet. After this, Jethryn became an exile from the Toa Order.

The concept of the Toa Mokha is connected to the creation of the Jethryn character, in July 2013. The original team included Jethryn, Khaati, and a markedly different interpretation of Galek.
